30 Days of Thanks

Today I am thankful for Mondays. It’s one of my least favorite days of the week and really gets a bad rap for being at the beginning of the work week. But without Mondays, we would just put the blame on some other day. For many, Mondays is the beginning of the work week, and … [Read more…]

I am thankful for those who spent or spend years of their lives dedicated to the service of our country. … [Read more…]

Yesterday I was thankful for the ability to travel by airplane. Though I have a slight fear of flying (I really dislike turbulence), I don’t let it keep me from traveling, which I love. I think it’s the most amazing thing that hundreds of thousands of people make their way across the country in a … [Read more…]
